What does the clicker actually do?

The clicker is a communication tool....it marks the split second the dog does something right and is then followed up immediately with a reward. It means yes, that was what I wanted and here comes your treat! Much more precise and unambiguous than just handing a titbit!

Lots and lots of info on the internet about how exactly to use it, but used correctly it speeds up learning, reduces confusion, and makes training FUN! Dazzle just loves to try and figure out how to make me click!

Just wanted to add my support for the clicker.
Bingley has got on so well with clicker training, he learns things much more quickly and like kayjay syncs removes any ambiguity. If used consistently I think they are fab. I wasn't convinced when they were introduced in puppy class but am a convert.

I've been a bit slow on this post but I would suggest the shaking is exciting/anticipation to new things happening.  She will get better as she gets older and is exposed to new things
